I can feel my vacation time slowly slipping away...like sand in an hourglass. Why is it that the times we want most to last go by the fastest, while the things we hate, those bothersome, annoying, but important things take so long?

It's like time itself is against us.

But I suppose that's one of the reasons why it's so worth it, why it's so much more special when you achieve that, when you actually do what you set out to do. Because despite time, despite difficulty and obstacles, you made it. You beat it. Even with time itself against you, you won.

Still. When you're looking at the hurdle, it seems so high, and you're so tired, you really don't feel like trying to make that jump. You feel like saying 'screw it. I don't care.'

It's so much easier to not try, to just put off until later. But in the end, you'll wish you had tried when you had the chance.

So put on some music, pull out whatever tools of the trade you require, and get to work! The sooner you start, the sooner you'll finish, and the happier you'll be that you did it.

Life isn't easy. But the happy times are worth it.

As to those depressed during the holiday season...you too have something to overcome. You have it harder than those to whom happiness comes easy, and you've got more against you, which in the end is even more depressing.

But don't ever give up. Things change, if only you try. Collect the shambles, the shattered pieces, and stick them together again. It takes time, strength, and people to lean on when it gets hardest and most painful. Seek those people out. Let them know you're hurt. Go slowly.

It'll be worth it, when you finally feel like smiling again.

I promise.
